Yi Hwang and Yi I, who were one generation apart, played a central role in Chosŏn’s academic and political areas. They took the inner sage and outer sovereign as their academic ideal and accomplished great achievements regarding the ligi-simsŏng theories related to Neo-Confucianism based on Zhu Xi’s philosophy. They have more in common with each other than they have differences. Nevertheless their philosophies were quite dissimilar. Yi Hwang made clear the ethical orientation that should be pursued, by means of clearly distinguishing from all the other kinds of emotions, judgments, and behaviors those ones based on li. And he focused on mindfulness as a method of practice in order to materialize li without distortion by external environments or personal desires. Yi I attempted to offer a logical basis for the relationship between li and ki by strictly following the concept of definitions and examples from the ligi theory. This perspective may be conducive to explaining phenomena, however, this fails to offer a force able to change the psychophysical component of the self and guide society into further good. For this reason, Yi I notes the will and intention of mind-heart to turn from vice to virtue through self-cultivation. While Yi Hwang’s Ten Diagrams on Sage Learning focused on the learning and cultivation of the ruler, Yi I’s Essentials of Sage Learning emphasized the roles of the wise and ethical subordinates around the king. Given that Yi Hwang and Yi I were both intellectuals and public officials, it is difficult to separate their academic pursuits from their political practices. Therefore, their theoretical differences can explain their worldly and political choices.

한국연구원은 1970년 5월 한국 민속의 각 분야에 걸친 자료의 수집과 학술적 연구를 목적으로 '한국민속연구소'로 출발하였다. 그 후 1973년 5월 연구 분야를 확대하며 민속뿐만 아니라 한국학 전반에 걸친 연구를 위해 '한국학연구소'로 개편하였고, 다시 1989년 3월 한국의 국제적 위상의 부상과 함께 한국학 연구의 중요성이 높아짐에 따라 '한국학연구원'으로 확대, 개편하였다. 한국학연구원은 한국학 전반에 걸친 연구를 통해 지역과 민족문화 발전에 기여하며 한국학의 세계화를 위해서 학술활동을 강화하고 나아가 내·외국인에 대한 한국문화 교육을 담당하고자 한다.
